It's most assuredely Giffen's art; he does Kirby almost as well as Kirby himself. Proof of this can be seen in his 70s runs on CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN and THE DEFENDERS.

Love Love Love that cover! I love the Keith's ever-evolving styles. I recently re-read the 5 year later era, and his style there has really grown on me. I hated it at first, but now looking back, I have much love for it.
Most interesting quote? "Keith and I working together and then Keith with other collaborators has played with the Shrinking Violet and Lightning Lass characters and their relationship a certain amount, and as you can see from the cover, they're back in the forefront of this story. They kind of get their glorious moment in the process, which is nice."
'Glorious moment'? Are Paul and Keith going to (re)establish Vi and Ayla as a lesbian couple? Dare we hope?
Also, the context in which they speak of the Emerald Empress here makes it seems like this is Sarya. Wasn't it specified elsewhere that this is a NEW Empress? Am I misreading this part of the interview?
Thoughts?

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Not in love with seeing Vi and Ayla on leashes, but it's a dramatic cover, that's for sure!

Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

I'm going to go against the majority vote ( at least I think I'm in the minority) and hope that Ayla stays with Brin instead. It was cool to have Vi be with Ayla for a while there, but I kinda missed the classic relationship Ayla had with Brin ... I always felt she was a bit harsh and unforgiving of him back when she was going through that bit of a rough time in her personal life. Let's face it, the guy was crushed after she dumped him.
P.S. I'm also a romantic softy type myself, one who hates most kinds of change ... especially involving the Legion I grew up with as a kid. So there!

Huh. I thought Brin deserved the dumping, myself. He's pretty much my nominee for Most Exasperating Legionnaire, at least in that incarnation.

I'm with you! NO GIFFEN PLEASE!!! Ya, he used to be good but that hasn't been the case, in my opinion of coarse, for a loooooong time! His work these days is hideous ... and that's being positive, seriously. If Giffen draws the Legion Annual I may not buy it at all.
P.S. Just look at the variant cover for DC Universe Legacies #6 ... I rest my case.
*snacking on crow as I type...*
Well, I have to counter my first gut feeling of probably not enjoying Giffen's upcoming annual by saying that based on the Emerald Empress cover that recently came out I will definately be buying this book! I liked what I saw (so much better than the Legacies cover) and I'm hoping the interior artwork is as equally impressive. I have a good feeling it will be though. His ever-evolving art style has really struck a positive nerve with me this time. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the new Jack Kirby! (well, sort of...)

It's 1000 years in the future, with people from different planets. Why not a three way open relationship.

The kids nowadays call that an "OT3," Dev.
[refuses to share own OT3 until after at least three more beers]
